Nice!

Learning only happens through a mish-mash of Trial-and-Error, Trial-by-Fire, Questioning, Curiosity, Reading/Copying/Mimicking, Thinking, Reflecting and finally Doing. All of the above are needed in some measure.

The trick is to do the above without losing our self-confidence in ourselves (we are guaranteed to feel "stupid" during the learning process) that "we can grok it" at some level and over a period of time. The problem today is that there is so many aspects and so much to learn about any one thing that students are trying to move very fast to learn everything which is an impossibility; they need to ruthlessly cut down on all inessentials and learn to focus on only one or two core things i.e. "sift the wheat from the chaff".
